Nice budget laptop
I purchased this for Black Friday at $279. At that price this is a very good value if it meets your needs. The CPU is the standout component, it being a core 5 series 1 (14th gen.). It is noticeably fast with its 5 GHz Max frequency for its 2 hyper-threaded performance cores. It has 8 efficiency cores with Max of 3.8 GHz. All in a 15 W nominal package. The other notable feature is the extra ram slot for a DDR4 sodimm (3200). I added a 16 GB ram module for a total of 24 GB. As a test I took a 1.8 GB GIMP file and did a simple rotate 90 degrees. On my 8 core 16 thread 65 W Ryzen 5700G it took 8 seconds and on this thing it took 8.5 seconds. I'm very pleased. The storage is a standard 2280 nvme drive which can be replaced. The wifi card is also replaceable if you wish to upgrade from the wifi 6 module that it comes with. The screen is actually good being an ips panel with decent off angle viewing. It's not bright enough for sunny outdoor work but is much better than any of the other budget screens from ASUS I've seen. It has a glossy finish, so reflections can be an issue. Ports are decent with 2 type A USB at 5 Gbps, 1 type A 2.0 (for mouse and/or keyboard dongle) and 1 type c USB at 5 Gbps. It has a full size hdmi port and a headphone/mic port. It idles (electrical power) a little higher than I would have thought. Overall, at the price I paid this is a great value and workhorse machine for a variety of purposes. Just be aware of it's limitations.

Worth it if purchased at a discounted price
Everything working well so far. Got it for $279.99 between Black Friday and Cyber Monday when it was discounted. Having the newer Core 5 (and not the older "Core i5"), even if it is the low-power class chip (120U) for this price made this purchase worth it. I just hope the comments about this unit having an empty slot for another RAM stick are true so that I could upgrade this later. The size and weight are also awesome for travel and the screen size still displays a lot of detail. I'm not sure if it really had Windows S mode as default as when I tried to switch it to Windows 11 Home, I couldn't. When I checked carefully on Windows settings, it said that it was already on 11 Home, so I did not have to do anything. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase.
